Man, I suck - I had an UNBELIEVABLY shitty day yesterday. Between visiting my brother in jail (did I mention that my brother is in jail?) and singing an opera (a serious physical and emotional undertaking) - while still recovering from a serious car accident and having THAT day be my first one off of the pain pills...

Thankfully it wasn't a lead role. Just a small part and a lot of chorus. Luckily - I was so tired, worn, and hurting that I didn't have any energy to worry about the performance! I was the most relaxed I have ever been for a big gig like that... I actually sang pretty well, from what I hear - I don't remember it much.

Without the rough times, you wouldn't appreciate the good times. At least that's what I like to think. And that by going through the really rough stretches you kind of pay your dues for the better times.

As you can see I'm even worse at writing about life stuff than I am about baseball.

Eh - maybe it says something about ME - but I have always enjoyed your writing. I was reading the old site for a few years now. And NOT just because it was the only place to find Marlins content.

I am pretty picky about my writers, and I read a LOT. I like your style - and I think you do write well. I also think we are pretty sympathetic in the way we think about a lot of things... which is VERY scary, if you ask me.

I'd love to see that! I can't imagine anyone getting worked up over any of this!

Have I mentioned recently that I hate people?

No - I mean it. You joked earlier (I think it was you - or was it daniel?) that I was a misanthrope. Well... damnit - I am. I hate humanity. There are many individuals that I like and even love - but for the most part - we suck.

Stuff like people sending YOU hate mail makes me want to become a hermit so I never have to deal with another jackass again...

It was definitely not me that used misanthrope. If I had tried to use such a word, I would have surely misused it.

The hate mail is unreal. Sometimes it makes me want to quit doing this. But there are a handful of emailers and people like you, Craig, Roger, and Carolina on the site that make me feel like it's worthwhile.

I can't imagine I said (or even thought) anything bad about you (well, at least not recently). It sounds like you've had some really tough luck lately and I can't imagine blaming you for being somewhat down or negative about it.
